Coming to the Realization

When I have a free period at school, be it my lunch or prep, you can usually find me in my classroom with the music on and perusing papers from my students. I hook my iPod up and get as much as I can done in between bites of deliciousness from all of the local eateries in the area. Today I realized that I am a mom during that time.

Yes, I know I am a mom. I wear my little girl's name around my neck with little footprints and her info on the back (from Julian and Co.). I have a car seat in my car and I loved my little girl from the moment they placed her in my arms, but I still haven't really felt like a mom! That was, until today.

I was listening to a little O.A.R. mixed with Usher and the new NKOTBSB (I don't love it, but that's another story) when The Fresh Beat Band song, "Great Day" popped up and started playing. It did not even phase me. My little lady LOVES the Fresh Beats and dancing to the music, so I put it on my iPod for her the other day for car rides. I actually got excited to hear The Fresh Beats and missed my girl! I thought, "Wow! I am someone's mom!"

It happens every once in a while - - - I realize I am responsible for this little person I helped create. I love it! She is the best. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Until tomorrow :)
